I owe so much gratitude to every content creator that provided the resources I needed to learn. Absolutely amazed by the power of the internet and the generosity of others to share so much content online.
Hi, would you be able to build a "career path" that some of us can follow in order to become successful programmers/developers?
Had exactly the same experience of learning how to code. Wanted to created an app to browse a big amount of visual assets i'm creating as a Creative service manager, started html/css/js from scratch, then vuejs, and backend skills node.js then express.js, little bit of mongodb/mongoose. After a year of learning I put everything together to create that app, and it worked ! If I can do it everybody can do it !
The suggestion at the last few minutes in the video are true. I started with data science, since I had no mentor, I was practically shooting an arrow in the dark. It became so overwhelming at one point (not the math or programming) but the magnitude of different skills to have that I gave up. That guilt still kills me to this day. Practically lost all my motivation of coding and now doing a shitty job.
The beauty with coding is you never stop learning. Everyday's a school day 🙂
you are absolutely right
I brought this channels HTML and CSS course along with javascript while it was on sale and its amazing, Thanks for actually explaining why you're doing certain things and going into really small detail that doesn't seem like much but for people like me who want to learn EVERYTHING I can its a big bonus and shows your actually interested in teaching and not just rushing courses for quick money, 10/10 course.
I'm about to do basically the same thing. I'm 3/4 of the way through my Software Engineering degree. I've got the green light from my boss, but it's part-time in addition to my regular job responsibilities.
Curious how much you sold for and if your employer had a stake in the IP.
I get not wanting to talk specifics, but if you could ball park if it was less than 100k or more than a mil, or in between?
So true 💙
6:40 – Yes, absolutely me 😑😆
Yes, self motivation is the toughest skill in 'this world'… Not sure if I said much 🙃
i really want to learn python like a pro
please help me!!!
Thank you very much!! This was very important topic for me! It is really motivating me to continue my struggle in learning how to code. God bless!!
I did go to school for my degree but most of the learning to be honest was supported by online tutorials like these.
Today I’m way to proud to mention that I’m a Software Engineer at a reputed bank in Canada.
Crazy how things work for you if you’re dedicated and just keep grinding.
Get a divorce, then start coding. Got it
Amazing journey. That is awesome. A lot of great advice. Learning to code literally saved me. My past career was teaching Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA, with covid, I would have been out of a job. But luckily I have been learning to code and was able to land a junior dev last January that eventually became remote.
I have my bachelor's degree in ComputerScience but i can say that i learn a lot on my own.Proud to be a self-taught here!
Brad's courses are very good. I finished his HTML and CSS and feel comfortable building web pages (even got a few clients and finished a paid project). Currently going through Brad's Modern Java Script course and I'm very happy. So getting a few paid courses and doing a lot of research to dive deeper… being consistent and driven should lead to success. I haven't got a full-time job yet, cause it's too early for me (only 3 months into the web dev), but I took Brad's advice to find clients and build real projects. Thanks a lot, Brad! Best regards 🙂
What do you suggest for learning practical stuff/good practices apart from coding that's actually required a lot while development. For example, project structure, making packages/modules, collaborating with a team on a project, etc.
Are there any courses or videos that focus on these stuff as well?
OK…well I've been TRYING to learn to code (C++ / Python) but cant't seem to get past "Hello World"…in either of them!…Can you suggest something to help me "move forward"?…thanks…its much appreciated!!
You got lucky in that your boss let you build it and gave you the software you needed, and the freedom to build it, and let you own the product so you could sell it. Most employers aren't going to let you do that in the real world.
I can't even begin to tell you, how much I have learnt from Traversy Media. Not only youtube but courses on Udemy aswell.
He has been the greatest teacher 👏
Some people just stick with watching Tube vids and reading, but never code a single line or just code simple no-use stuff. You have to open VSC (or whatever) and do a lot of coding. Make mistakes and make more and more complicated stuff. Some people, like me, just need somebody to supply him with huge quantities of problems and exercises. Get kicked and pushed. YT tutorials will never kick you hard, never kick you at all. That is all. People just get soft.
I’m currently studying at a web dev boot camp 5 days a week and can genuinely say that online resources are great. I supplement my learning with it all the time, and have even preferred it for certain languages. Going to the boot camp has its advantages as you get to network and get placed into internships, but if you just want to learn pure code and build from there, online learning is a great way to go if you can stay focused.
Google always got my back 💪🏻…!
Can you make a video on about the future of web development….. please
It's hard to get started with online/yt learning because many of us will jump from task to task -part to part all over the place.
In school/course (not online) or with a mentor, you will know where to start and what next you must learn and next, etc. That's because is better to learn live (not online) you will not jump all over everything, someone will tell you what is next you must know to advance in coding. (sorry for bad english, maybe)
is data structures and algorithms are important for web developers ? if yes how to learn them
Two of my favorite mentors coming together. Thanks guys
So I took Brad's React course on Udemy in July 2019, I got my first front-end React job on October 2019, this last month I changed job and multiplied my my previous salary by 260%. Slowly but surely it's all going better. Thanks so much Brad.
